The Baby Element Clinic is home of Wilmslow Lactation Consultant Nikki Mather.
Nikki’s support aims to provide tailored and bespoke workshops based on your family’s needs, troubleshoot any infant feeding issues you may be experiencing and working towards a family friendly plan of support.
You will find breastfeeding support and bottle feeding support available, and support if you are combination feeding or mixed feeding.
Nikki’s sessions cover a range of topics:
- The biological and practical aspects of breastfeeding
- Positioning and attachment
- What to expect in the early days
- Breast milk: expressing and storage
- Tips and tricks to overcome issues
- Full infant feeding assessment including tongue tie, reflux, colic etc.
- Safe supplemental milk preparation, bottle feeding support, cleaning and disinfection of equipment
Breastfeeding & Bottle Feeding support packages:
Remote – Breastfeeding support & Bottle Feeding support is available on Zoom for families anywhere in the UK and abroad – a time can be arranged via WhatsApp.
One-on-one infant feeding support – If you prefer to have one-to-one breastfeeding support in your own home, I offer private sessions which are tailored to suit your needs. I also support families who have chosen to bottle feed their babies, or offer combined feeds.
Overnight support – I offer breastfeeding support anytime of the day or night, 7 days a week, for the first 6 weeks after birth to guide you through your feeding choice. Plus, I can refer you to any specialised breastfeeding support if needed.
I am well connected with relevant healthcare professionals so can signpost to specialist advice (if needed) in the NHS or to a Frenulotomy Specialist for more complex issues such as tongue tie.
